What I think Mangle’s Radio is Actually Saying

[boof]

My guess is: since every toy animatronic has a criminal face recognition system, they’re probably connected to police radios to send an alert of some kind whenever they detect a criminal. Mangle, being a mess of parts has one that’s constantly active. Which is why he constantly makes radio and static, and why she has specifically a police radio.

[Supergamer-fffo]

This makes so much sense. That’s what the phone guy in fnaf 1 was talking about. Normally, I thought it was foxy but from the evidence I’ve heard so far, I ended to believe it was mangle. It makes me wonder why foxy from the first game was out of order.

What makes this scarier to me is what 10-1 actually means.
In general, 10-1 is used as a way of saying “Unable copy - Change location”
But in specific places (such as Norfolk, VA), 10-1 is used to say “Police Officer needs help”
Therefore, if the latter definition of 10-1 were to be applied, we could assume that the Mangle animatronic was too dangerous for one officer to handle.
Not only that, but that’s one of the last things that the Mangle’s transmission puts out according to the audio. Do with that what you will.

Mangle's character is such an interesting concept. I'm really glad Scott didn't just make them "feminine foxy" but actually gave them a level of uniqueness. the idea of an animatronic who's been ripped to shreds by little children and is now a hunk of wires and metal that crawls around the ceiling like a spider and just makes radio distortion sounds (that include transmissions from what is possibly the fredbear bite OR another bite they might have caused) is metal as hell

I'm pretty sure he's saying
"We've got a little boy"
"Missing his frontal lobe"
"He's not doing very well"

[dominicnorris]

Man game theory is gonna have a field day with this

[BonnieThebunny]

"It's amazing how the human body can live without the frontal lobe"

Edit: for those who don't understand this comment is a phone guy reference, he said it in FNAF 1, when I made this comment I thought everyone would have understood the reference but it seems some people didn't understand the reference

[Wolfie_Craft]

This actually makes sense because mangle is constantly static so it’s like a radio
That makes me think that this is the policies radio because
If you notice when the guy is talking, the loudest words that are said is when he’s communicating on the radio like “we’ve got a little boy” and when he says “please leave now” and “is this happening” it sounds like it’s in the background which means mangle can hear the radio (that’s why it’s so clear on the radio)
And the background is him talking to himself like “is this happening” or him talking to the civilians like “please leave now”
Here is what I changed to make it more clear


Ma’am please leave now
Puts on radio:we’ve got a little boy
He’s got no frontal lobe
Off of the radio: to himself
He’s definitely dead, is this happening?
Puts radio back on: sir we’ve got a 10-1

[gtrfraner]

I heard
"10-1, we got a little boy, without a frontal lobe."
"He's definitely dead."
"I don't know if he's doing well."

Someone actually said it sounds like Mangle is trying to send a signal out to 911 because they think you're an intruder. Then when that fails, they try with 411, the non-emergency line.

[jayfox]

Even though this might just be a case of pareidolia I love it so much, there's just something about Mangle being the culprit and replaying the police radio of the aftermath of her actions, it's haunting and i love it!

[Anarkkyy]

Scott never intended any meaning behind mangles radio. It's just what people THINK it sounds like but really, it's not saying it. He literally just bought the static sound for mangle.

[DoggoTheSimp]

What i hear is “We got an employee, missing there frontal lobe.” It makes the most sense in the night 4 phone call phone guy says “But the characters have been acting very unusual, almost aggressive towards the staff. They interact with the kids just fine, but when they encounter an adult they just stare.” Which it lines up with timeline and that mangle was one most likely the one that bit the person.

[jalloonjoy]

dude that actually sounds legit, but it also makes the fnaf lore for once actually pretty creepy. It's just that everything we now from now is pretty much just speculation and we haven't heard evidence from this world like actually hearing people who are in the fnaf universe talking about it. You might not understand what I mean cause I just can't describe it well.

[wolfxdaily]

I feel like the officer saying “please leave now” is telling that to William Afton after the bite of ‘83

[GorochuVA]

I'm struggling to find the words to connect this to my theory: The Bite of '87 was done by Mangle in self-defense after the kids ripped them apart one too many times. Not only sending this radio message to begin with, but having it play nonstop since, must be pretty traumatic

[dothedew_w]

The little boy did live cause in FNaF 1 phone guy said “it’s amazing how someone could live without a frontal lobe”

[breezedancer]

To me I hear “he’s definitely dead” and someone affirming “mhm”

[THEA_ZPRIME]

I would like it to be so, although it is really only a stock audio and if we put ourselves inside the lore, the bite just happened on the day we played night 7 so it would be impossible for mangrove to have that audio before the bite

[dailosdelgadocedres]

Actually, Scott found the mangle's radio sound on a website called dogsound or something like that, so the radio says nothing, they are random noises.
